[FLASH-USERS] photoionization in FLASH

[Prof. Dr. Stefanie Walch-Gassner]

Hi Céline and Mordecai,

Thanks for referring to us Mordecai!

It’s true, we have a radiative transfer model in FLASH based on a tree (Wünsch+2021, Wünsch+2018).
The module is available for the simple implementation of isothermal ionised gas by request. In this case just email me and I’ll get you in touch with Richard Wünsch.

Best,
Steffi

I have gone through the user guide, it seems that the actual ionization methods implemented in FLASH are by collision temperatures. Is there any modules about photoionization? Or, is there someone have experiences about how to implement it?

A simplified version of this algorithm (only following H photoionization) is included in the TORCH framework, which integrates Flash into the Astrophysical Multipurpose Software Environment (AMUSE) alongside N-body and stellar evolution codes (Wall et al. 2019, 2020).  Torch is publicly available at https://torch-sf.bitbucket.io/ <https://torch-sf.bitbucket.io/>, and we invite users to join our mailing list and weekly users-group meeting on Zoom as well.
